If using fresh taro leaves, wash them thoroughly and chop them. If using frozen, ensure they are thawed.

Add the chopped taro leaves to the pot. If using optional fish or chicken, add it now.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 30-40 minutes, or until the taro leaves are tender and the flavors have melded. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów
- ✓Ensure taro leaves are cooked thoroughly to neutralize oxalates. If unsure, boil fresh taro leaves for 10-15 minutes before adding them to the stew.
- ✓For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk.
- ✓If taro leaves are difficult to find, spinach or Swiss chard can be used as a substitute, though the flavor will be different.
